Wally West is a DC Comics character and started out as the sidekick of the Flash, Barry Allen, and as such was the first character to take the Kid Flash name. He later follows in Barry’s footsteps and takes on the Flash identity.

The character has been rebooted in the New 52 continuity as African American, undergoing considerable changes in backstory to fit in the new universe.

In the CW's The Flash television series, Wally first appears in the second season[1] and is the younger brother to Iris West and son of Joe West. He has a similar background as the New 52 Wally. This is different then the original backstory of Wally in the comics where he was the nephew of the existing Flash character's girlfriend and later wife, Iris West.
